Reasonably enjoyable erotic romance. This is not a favourite genre of mine because I prefer my romance with more focus on story and character and less on sexy times where as with erotic romance focus is on sex, sex and more sex. However I did like the turning of the tables with the heroine Mae being the one to dominate and the hero Liam while being alpha in everyday life, being the submissive in the bedroom. I did find the endless sex got boring (the have a contract for a month meaning 4 weekends so basically we get descriptions of the multitude of sex acts over the whole first weekend. Ok that is fine, but then we get a blow by blow of the entire following 3 weekends and for me it just got boring. However as this is something I find with all erotic romance that Is likely to be an issue for me rather than any problem with the story itself.

This could've been soo good. But the halfhearted go at the whole sub/dom thing just didn't work for me. There wasn't enough expansion on the 2 lead characters to really buy into it. BUT... I didn't hate it.

A well written F/m romance that manages to be good erotica and a good story. I've enjoyed Elizabeth Kelly's Red Moon series in the past, and was delighted to find a book from her whose description hinted at some femdom fun. I was not disappointed.
Both main characters are delightfully human, coming together to explore their desire for kinky sex while hiding the truth of their hearts from each other out of fears and insecurities that will resonate with many of us. Liam Knight's wealth can get him anything he wants--except for a woman who accepts him as he is and is willing to dominate him sexually. Mae is fighting to get out from student loan debt after discovering the hard way that nursing isn't for her and doesn't want to admit that she is attracted to her sharp-tongued boss.
One of the things I love about this story is that the character's aren't inherently incompatible people who are drawn together in spite of themselves (which seems to be the cop-out way so many romance author's create conflict). Instead, conflict between the two characters comes from their insecurities and fears to be honest with each other, while outside conflict (a no dating policy at work and an ex out to make trouble) just adds fuel to the fire.
I'm giving four stars rather than five because the spa scene and the idea that a woman can't be beautiful without waxing, make-up, and 4 hours in a salon just rubs me the wrong way.
Highly recommended for anyone interested in some light F/m and a good story.
